Artist was humiliated by the authorities and lambasted by the press after terminating a pregnancy, but refuses to be silenced

From the article:

One night, two weeks after I’d taken the pills, I was at home when suddenly there was a loud banging on my front door and shouts of “police!”.

I had just come off the phone with my psychologist. It had been a stressful time and that night I’d had a panic attack. I’ve had these many times before and I called my psychologist for help. She asked me about any new medication I’d been taking so I told her about the abortion pills.

She was calm and told me that she was calling a paramedic. Instead she called the police. Later, the recording of her conversation with the police was leaked to the press, where she can be heard telling them that I’d had an abortion and was suicidal, though I specifically told her I wasn’t.

I have a lot to say about my psychologist, none of it fit for print, but suffice to say I trusted her completely and she violated that trust and our confidentiality.

    Just so we’re all on the same page:

    THIS HAPPENED IN JULY.

    Just in case anyone wants to pin the blame on the new government.

    The controversy is theoretically still ongoing for this case, but on the down low, as just one part of the backlash against the restrictions put on abortions in Poland 3 years ago.

    Fuck it. Share it anyways. This psychologist is a piece of shit, and the fact that they weren’t named in the article is bullshit.

      I hope so too, but - from the article:

      In my country, many women didn’t know they could not be criminalised for their abortions. Abortion laws kill women. Politicians talked about changing our laws in the run-up to the election. It became a bargaining chip. Now that they’re about to form a government, they have become silent on this issue.

    so this person was swatted by their psychologist. the psychologist called the police and lied to get this person raided. that’s swatting.
